Hey all,
It's been a really long time since you last heard from me, i was pounded by projects and my spare time was dropped to nearly none.
I will be getting back to cacti plugin development shortly with some new integrations (to the point i can provide any kind of help) the query tool and everything else.
I have a huge collection of customized plugins now since my company is now rellying plenty of information on cacti.

OK here is the situation, i have overcomed the limitation of displaying only 1 datasource in the query window.
My problem now is, what should i do with the cdefs? should i try to find a way to apply cdef functions on the data, but then again how should it be done? which should be a valid function?
Any ideas or suggestions regarding this?

Pestilence: getting multiple datasources to appear in the dataquery plugin is one of my most desired features :) 0.1.4a is excellent, btw. :)

Witness: Given that I'm using cacti to create graphs from my LSF HPC cluster, I'm just loving your project there. Are you hooked right into the LSF infrstructure, or are you parsing output? I created scripts to run on my LSF master that are called via an SNMP OID and return # of running jobs, # of pending jobs, etc. :)

sg,

I utilize the LSF API. So, I'm as hooked as you can be. How large is your cluster? You can PM me your information, I can have someone contact you. I have just put the finishing touches on V1. You will LOVE it. It does so much that the good old LSF commands won't.... More detail to come.

Hi,
Any activity on the grid plugin? It looks cool.
I would give it a try and return feedback if it's up to being available.
Regards,

Well, the quick answer is yes. You see, I started working for Platform Computing last year and this has been my science project. It has become so successful, that we are not making available for Platform customers. If you are interested, please see your Platform Sales representative.

I still support the Cacti Group as it was and sometimes still is my first passion.

Regards,

Larry Adams

RTM (aka Grid) is not in the wild, although pretty cool. Especially when you have 24 clusters configured. Send me an e-mail and I will give you more details.

Pestillence,

How did I do with the Graph Export aka Dataquery like Plugin? I did shrink your Icon. That and the idea were about all that I used :)
